The Cartographers’ Guild is a forum created by and for map makers and aficionados, a place where every aspect of cartography can be admired, examined, learned, and discussed. Our membership consists of professional designers and artists, hobbyists, and amateurs—all are welcome to join and participate in the quest for cartographic skill and knowledge.

Although we specialize in maps of fictional realms, as commonly used in both novels and games (both tabletop and role-playing), many Guild members are also proficient in historical and contemporary maps. Likewise, we specialize in computer-assisted cartography (such as with GIMP, Adobe apps, Campaign Cartographer, Dundjinni, etc.), although many members here also have interest in maps drafted by hand.

D&D Continent Map

Hello, Cartographers!

I have been creating a world as the campaign setting for my campaign in D&D, but there's only one problem: it's all in my head.
So my mission for you, if you choose to accept it, is simple and not unique by any means. Please draw me a map!

The map is going to be a single continent, the Dalokyr Empire.

As you can see, my mapmaking skills are not quite to par with the incredibly talented individuals on this forum. So, here's what I would like on the map:

A Compass
North should be straight up.A Scale Thingy
Its name eludes me, but I'd like the scale of the map to be 1 inch:25 miles. The distance between cities should be about 3 inches. I'd like the continent to be fairly large, if the cartographer wills it to be so.

I'm looking for a map in much the style of the ones in the Eberron Campaign Guide, although quality isn't much of a concern other than being fairly high-res. I just want a simple map of my continent. If you have any questions, feel free to shoot me an email at:
